Question
A long cylindrical wood log (k-0.17 W/m-K and a=128-10-7 m²/s) is 10 cm in diameter and is initially at a uniform temperature of
26°C. It is exposed to hot gases at 455°C in a fireplace with a heat transfer coefficient of 13.6 W/m2.K on the surface. If the ignition
temperature of the wood is 375°C, determine how long it will be before the log ignites. Solve this problem using the analytical one-
term approximation method.
The time taken is
min.
